...But there’s a reasonable middle position between that and the callousness too many of them are embracing as an alternative—it’s called just plain empathy. Don’t let anyone convince you that in order to be a man, you’ve gotta be an asshole. That is pure bullshit..."

Everyone with a Truth Social acct (deleted mine) should have this on blast over there. #TrumpShutdown

Donald Trump Said THIS in 2011 to Meredith Vieira re: responsibility on Government Shutdowns on "The Today Show" in 2011 & it's the ONLY time I AGREE with him 100%!

"In my opinion, I hear the Democrats are gonna be blamed, I hear Republicans are gonna be blamed, I actually think the president would be blamed," he said. "If there is a shutdown ...
